Once the group made it back to NRC, they announced to Crowley, who was conveniently in the Mirror Chamber, that they're back,"Eh!? You really went to Dwarf's Mine to find a magic crystal?" Crowley says with disbelief, also shocking the group at his words,"Eeeh!?"

"I really didn't think... My word, I never actually thought you'd go..." Crowley admits with awe,"You'd not only go but then come back with a crystal in hand. I completed the paperwork for your expulsion in solemn silence." he adds with a shake of his head.

"Nnga! The nerve of this guy! While we were off fighting some crazy beast!" Grim growls with ears pinned back,"Beast?" Crowley perks up at this,"There was a monster there! It was super gross and crazy strong. It was awful!" Ace explains.

"Could you explain in more detail?" Crowley asks and the group proceeds to tell him of their journey to the mine and their fight with the monster. By that time, they found themselves in Crowley's office and y/n stares at the portraits of the Great Seven floating behind Crowley's desk.

"Hoh hoohh. A mysterious monster living in the coal mine. The four of you worked together to defeat it and bring back a magic crystal?" Crowley summerizes with chin resting on laced fingers.

"We didn't really work together..." Ace stares off to the side with pink cheeks,"It was more like our goals wre aligned..." Deuce spits out in embarrassment and y/n rolls her eyes at them before mouthing to Crowley that they did work together.

"Ooh... Ooooh... OOOOOOOOHH!!!!" the man suddenly starts balling his eyes out, a handkerchief already in his hand. This caught the group off guard,"What's with this guy? Why is an adult bursting into tears!?" Grim questions with uncomfortable eyes.

"In all these years that I've been Headmaster... For the day to come that students from Night Raven College to go hand in hand to face and defeat their enemy!" Crowley dramatically sobs with droplets of tears flying from his eyes.

"What!? I did not hold this guy's hand!" Deuce states as he comically points at Ace,"I would never do that either, gross!" Ace gags before pointing at Crowley,"Wait, how old are you, Headmaster!?" he asks and y/n slaps his hand down,"It's rude to point and to ask someone their age."

"I am overwhelmed with emotion. This incident confirms it." Crowley stands up from his desk and approaches y/n,"Y/n. Without a doubt, you have talent as a beats tamer!" he declares,"Say what now!? Beast tamer!?" y/n jumps at this declaration.

"Students of Night Raven College are budding mages chosen by the Dark Mirror. But due to their excellence, many of them turn out to be prideful, egotistical and self-centered individuals who never give a thought about cooperating with others." Crowley explains and with each harsh word coming from his mouth, an imaginary arrow pierces Deuce and Ace on the side of their heads.

"You're really not saying anything good." Grim sweatdrops with y/n,"You cannot use magic. But, maybe, precisely because you cannot use magic means that you could give instructions to magic users and get them to cooperate." Crowley continues.

"Surely a mediocre, run-of-the-mill human like you is exactly what this school needs right now!" he exclaims with arms spread out. This time an imaginary arrow hits y/n's head,"He's not saying anything nice, is he!?" Ace yells with disbelief.

"I have no doubt that your existence is essential to the future of this academy. So says my intuition as an educator." Crowley pays the girl's shoulder,"Along with rescinding Mr. Trappola and Mr. Spade's expulsion, I shall give you the qualifications to attend Night Raven College as a student!" he announces joyfully.

"Eeeh!?" the group exclaim with utter shock at this announcement,"Yes. For I am exceedingly gracious. But, there is one condition." Crowley holds up a finger,"You cannot use magic. Becoming a mage is out of the question. You probably will not be able to complete all your lessons. This is where Grim comes in."

At this, Grim's eyes widen with hope,"You have proven to me that you possess enough talent to become a mage. Therefore, I shall allow the two of you to enroll together, as one student." Crowley announces with a smile.

"Ffgna!? I... I can go to this academy too...? Not as a handyman, but as a student?" Grim chokes up with tears dotting the corner of his eyes,"Yes. Provided that! You don't ever let an incident like yesterday occur again! Do we have an agreement?" Crowley says sternly.

"Ffgnaa... Fffnnaa... W-We can..." Grim tears up more,"Grim." y/n calls out and Grim looks up at her smile,"Let's go do our best together, buddy." she chirps,"Ffggnnnnaaa!! I did it!!" Grim cheers with a broad smile as he hugs y/n's leg.

"Well then, I shall give the symbol of your status as a student of Night Raven College, a magic crystal, to Grim." Crowley says and with a wave of his hand, a collar with a magic crystal appears around Girm's neck.

"Whoa! A magic crystal!?" Grim holds up the sparkling gem with awe,"It is the norm for students to have their magic crystals in the form of a 'magical pen' but, you wouldn't be able to grip it in your paws, right? It's a special custom. Aaah... I pay attention to even the smallest detaila! Aren't I too gracious?" Crowley boasts.

"I did it!! I'm so cool! I got my own special magic crystal collar~" Grim smirks as he poses a bit, not having heard anything Crowley just said,"He isn't listening at all..." Crowley pouts and y/n giggles at this.

"Listen, y/n. As you can see, Grim is not accustomed to human society. It's up to you to take the reins and monitor him to prevent from causing any more trouble!" Crowley tells her,"Understood sir!" y/n smiles.

"Aha! Look at you. School's just started, but you're already a prefect?" Ace grins as he wraps an arm around the girl's shoulders,"I see. There's only two of you in your dorm... So if you e been entrusted with monitoring Grim, that makes you a prefect." Deuce smiles.

"Pufft... Isn't that unheard of? For there to be a prefect who is unable to use magic. Nice. It's cool. A supervisor student who is unable to use magic!" Ace ruffles y/n's hair in a friendly manner,"I'll do my best then! So sweat!" y/n says with determination.

"Ahahah. Good luck, Prefect!" Ace laughs lightly,"I see, a prefect. I do have a work request, and having a title makes it very conve... I mean wonderful!" y/n narrows her eyes at Crowley's slight slip-up.

"Prefect. I entrust you with this." Crowley makes an old looking camera appear in his hands,[Oh, it looks like one of those film producing cameras!] y/n perks up as she accepts the little device,"...This is nicknamed the 'ghost camera'." Crowley tells her.

"Ghost camera?" y/n raises a brow,"Ah, I think my grandma told me about that. It's a super old magic tool, right?" Ace says as he stares at the camera in y/n's hands,"It is not 'super old'..." Crowley pouts before clearing his throat.

"It's true this may have been invented during your great grandmother's, or great-great grandmother's time. There is a very special spell casted on it. It not only captures the subjects' form, but also a part of their souls." he explains.

"A part of their souls...?" Deuce repeats,"'Memory: A Fragment of Remembrance', is another name for it. Furthermore, the most interesting part of this magic camera is that the souls of the photographer and the photographed become deeply connected and the Memory in the photo comes jumping out!" Crowley chirps.

"So their souls are connected then?" y/n says with uncertainty,"Depending on how close the subject and the photographer are, the picture could move like a video, or bring to life the situation in the photo. Fascinating, right?" Crowley tells her.

"Bring the photo to life? It's like a ghost photograph!" Deuce says with awe,"Yes. Therfore it is called a 'ghost camera'. They say it was made before the time of videos for when people wanted to leave behind vivid memories..." Crowley recalls fondly,"Spade was correct; in the past, people would scream 'ghost!' in surprise when the memory came jumping out. They were paralyzed with fear at the thought of having a photo taken with this camera."

"A camera for freaking people out..."Ace droops at the thought," Prefect. Please take a photo of Grim and the other students to leave behind many memories of your lives in this academy." Crowley requests.

Y/n does so and Grim and the boys give her big smiles,"La-lalala~ Take lots of cool photos of me~" Grim says with a sing-song tone,"Haha, okay Grim." y/n smiles,"Be sure to leave a Memory especially when someone who gets carried away easily misbehaves. It's the most suitable way to report to me, right?" Crowley tells the girl.

"Keep an eye on your surroundings and take memories as the prefect. To generously give you a rare item that can be used by non-mages... Does my graciousness know no bound?" he adds on dramatically.

"Thank you very much, sir. I'll use it as much as possible." y/n smiles softly and Crowley nods before looking at the clock on the wall,"It is already late. Let's save the detailed conversation for tomorrow. Return to your dormitories, everyone." he says,"Pardon our intrusion." Deuce bows before they all left.

Deuce let's out a yawn as they walk down the open hallway next to the garden,"... Expulsion rescinded... I'm beat." he sighs,"Oh my, oh my..." Ace says with an exhausted tone.

"La lala~ I start as a student of Night Raven College tomorrow! I'm gonna leave you all in the dust and take the top spot!" Grim declares as he dances around,"You talk big for someone who is only half a full student... Anyway, it's fine." Ace smiles.

"We're classmates tomorrow, Prefect, Grim." Deuce says and y/n smiles,"Please, just call me y/n! Once again, nice to meet you! Both of you." she chirps, causing the two guys to blush,"Saying that again is really embarrassing, will you stop?" Ace fusses.

"Pff, that's true. Even if we don't want to, we're going to see each other everyday. I'm even in Heartslabyul with this jerk." Deuce jest as he jabs a thumb at Ace,"The thought of having to see Mr. Serious' mug everyday makes me sick. Eugh." Ace says, but with a joking smile.

"That's my line, truant Ace." Deuce says playfully,"Whatever you say, almost-expelled-crybaby Deuce." Ace smirks before waving at y/n,"Alright, see you tomorrow, Prefect." he says the title teasingly before they leave.

"Those two..." y/n shakes her head with a smile,"Those guys might make a good combo. They're the 'fight because they're so close' type." Grim comments and y/n nods,"You're right buddy." she smiles before yawning,"We better get back to the dorm! Tomorrow, we aren't the handymen!" Grim cheers.

"Finally... Finally! Our bright and shiny academy life at Night Raven College begins!" he lifts a paw in the air and y/n copies his action with her fist pumped into the air,"Hell yeah!!"

Oh, if only they knew what trouble awaits them at the academy. The paint they're gonna have to endure in order to keep the peace at the academy.

Oh well, they'll figure it out eventually.
